01x03 - Life and death

Post by bunniefuu »

Hey, where's your mind at?

Hey.

Did he recognise the man?

Did he say anything to you?

Not the ears

If you keep your heart open,

you'll hear everything.

Boss

Iqbal wants to ask you something.

Not me

Jalal has a question.

Did you recognise the man?

Can you truly recognise someone

just by their face?

You're the oldest prisoner here.

If even you don't

You recognise someone

by what's in their heart.

I can see that he has a good heart.

Not everyone does.

But those who do

write their own destiny.

No power in the world

can stop them.

And what's in his heart?

To hang himself?

Why did he go into that cell?

No one comes out alive.

And they've kept him there.

Death.

One hundred and forty-five.

One hundred and forty-five.

Jalal.

How many times

does the Quran mention death?

One hundred and forty-five times.

And how many times

does it mention life?

Equal number of times.

CELL 145

PART 1

Engaged.

-Ashfaque.

-Hmm?

Sir has called for you.

Didn't you flush the toilet?

There's nothing to flush.

Weren't you supposed to bring papayas?

Did you?

Sir is calling you to have papayas.

Go ahead.

Sir.

DETECTIVE BRANCH

BANGLADESH POLICE

Sir.

Want some papaya?

Thank you, sir.

Peter Piper picked a peck

of peppered papaya.

Can you say this tongue-twister

without fumbling?

Let me have the papaya.

You start with the tongue-twister.

It'll be fun.

Come on.

Sir

Do I have to request you now?

Peter Piper picked a peck

of peppered papaya.

Peter Piper picked a peck

of peppe--

Peter Piper picked a peck

of peppered papaya.

Peter Piper picked a peck

of peppe--

Pet

Your cases are a mess,

just like you.

You don't have a single lead

in any of your cases.

How will you catch the criminal?

You haven't even identified a suspect yet.

By any fking chance,

are you fooling around with me?

No, sir.

Sorry, sir.

I've arrested two suspects.

I'm going--

I've been hearing this

for two fking years.

But you still haven't caught the criminal.

Do you have any proper leads?

Why would you?

You waste all your time

playing games on the phone.

Then you rush off to the gym.

Who will catch the culprit?

Me?

You're the senior-most

useless st in the office.

Ashfaque.

Did you get my point?

Yes, sir.

I got it.

Out.

-Out!

-Sir.

Yes, tell me.

What luck!

Got your prayers answered

without even praying.

Do you have a matchstick?

Why?

You've banned cigarettes

and shut down our business.

We don't have any choice.

Strange things

have been happening here.

Yes, we heard about it.

Apparently, Aslam had an accident.

He's been cursed.

Who cursed him?

You?

Gazi Baba.

How?

Aslam has come here recently.

Gazi Baba died a long time ago.

How would he know about Aslam?

Cell 145.

Who is that man?

It's a miracle.

Why else

would I light a candle at the shrine

after all this time?

Does no one know?

Have you checked the CCTV footage?

What is he wearing?

Is this a sack?

This looks ancient.

Ashfaque.

Is he someone from Sajib's g*ng?

Why did you shave off his hair?

Everyone looks the same

with trimmed hair.

Huh?

Mostak.

If Sajib's g*ng were up to something,

they have a lot of men here.

Why would they go through

all this trouble?

Did Sajib recognise him?

You said they run

the betting syndicate from Dubai.

Yes.

If he was from Dubai,

his fingerprints would've matched.

Mostak, Sajib is here.

Does anyone know that

apart from us?

Then?

Would either of us

leak this information?

Khayer?

Is he up to something?

He can directly get his men in

if he wants to.

That cell has been locked

for 50 years--

Then how did he get in?

-Did you check properly?

-We did. There's no way.

Then what is he?

A ghost? A genie? What?

Did he say anything?

-He's mute.

-Mute?

-He can't talk.

-More like you couldn't make him talk.

Give him a smack

and he'll instantly start talking.

He's just faking it.

Come on, let's go.

Take me to him.

Mostak, should I talk to him?

Fine.

Let's just sit tight.

Let's go.

MATRICHAYA

Mir Jafar

And?

Two hundred and fifty.

What else is written?

I don't know.

Find out.

Hey.

You think I haven't tried that?

You work for the Detective Branch

with those brains?

What's this?

What the hell is this?

What kind of prison uniform is this?

Uncuff him.

No.

We can't take them off.

I'm here.

Don't worry.

Uncuff him.

Come on.

How did you come here?

He blinked, right?

Huh?

Did you see it?

He blinked, didn't he?

Did you see?

I can clearly detect

a foetal heartbeat.

No need to worry.

Here it is.

Get plenty of rest

and be careful.

First pregnancy?

-Sorry.

-It's okay.

Must be your husband.

Hello.

Are you busy?

Can we talk?

Um

No, I'm at the hospital.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Not that hospital.

Then?

Greeny Day.

I'm here for an eye checkup.

Do they have ophthalmologists

Okay, I'm on way.

Need to meet you. Emergency--

No, I'm almost done here.

I'll come down to your office.

I'm just around the corner.

I'll call when I reach.

Bye.

Hey, Maha.

Do they have ophthalmologists here?

-How's your mom?

-The same. Tell me.

(indistinct chatter)

Ah.

Dad's name is Sirajul Haque.

Lives in Libya.

Union number 7, Harirampur village,

Miah Bari.

Siddhirganj Police Station,

Jhenaidah District.

I'm going to brief my juniors.

So I verified the information.

What do you mean?

Aren't you going?

I'm caught up with a few pending cases

at the moment.

My juniors are better than me.

What's the emergency?

-Did you call me only to verify?

-No.

You know sign language, right?

Why do you ask?

I'm working on a case right now.

I need your help.

To talk to a convict.

He's mute.

-You have to--

-I'm not an expert.

I just know a bit

from my interaction with my mom.

Mother tongue.

You can communicate, isn't it?

That's enough.

How long will it take?

I have to get back to the hospital.

Mom is alone.

Just a few formal questions.

So if I leave your office at

No, we're not going to my office.

Then?

Where is it?

Impossible.

Don't you know the situation?

I didn't even let Panna meet Sajib.

And you--

Where will I get

a male interpreter now?

I brought along whoever I found.

What do you mean?

-Who is she?

-Nupur's mother's friend.

Nupur?

My daughter.

Oh!

Mostak, trust me.

She won't tell anyone about it.

Don't worry.

Do you need an interpreter or not?

-I do but not a woman.

-Then find one yourself!

Okay, listen.

Any progress on that writing?

-Could you translate it?

-No, it'll take time.

What about the NID database?

Is there no other way?

There is.

Someone from the administration.

You want that?

Trust me.

I'm here.

Hmm.

Maha.

RECORD ROOM

Hey.

Hey!

Ask him.

Who is he?

What's his name?

How did he come here?

Where is he from?

Ask him.

Who are you?

How did you come here?

Where are you from?

What did he say?

I didn't understand.

Didn't you get any of it?

Both of you are using sign language.

It's the same thing.

Why can't you understand?

Yes.

But he's using a different sign language.

I don't know the language

he's communicating in.

-Which language?

-I don't know.

Then try to know.

How can I interpret a language

I don't know?

Did you get it now?

Who is he?

That's what we want to know.

Ask him.

He k*lled Mir Jafar.

That's why he's serving his sentence.

Who's Mir Jafar?

This

"The traitor

who betrayed Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah.

I

was Mir Jafar's cook.

We lost the battle

because Mir Jafar betrayed us.

We lost everything.

But we still kept trying.

We wanted to punish him.

I got employed

as Mir Jafar's cook again.

One day, I seized the opportunity

to poison his food.

He died.

I k*lled Mir Jafar."

What rubbish are you saying?

These aren't my words.

Is this a joke?

Come on!

The Battle of Plassey was ages ago.

How can he be alive

for 300 years?

Okay, he k*lled him.

Ask him how he got in here.

Mir Jafar wasn't k*lled.

He died of leprosy.

Yes, ask him about it.

-How will I ask him this?

-Just ask him.

I'll teach him a lesson today.

Come on.

Mir Jafar died

of leprosy.

"The battle takes place first.

History is written later.

One event can have different versions

in history.

Only the ones who have witnessed it

know the truth.

I have seen it

with my own eyes.

I'm witness to what really happened."

How are you still alive?

"For 250 years

I have been in prison."

Anything else?

What?

Didn't he say anything else?

Where was he for the last 250 years?

Here?

Didn't you ask him anything else?

Have you told the IG?

Have you lost it?

I can't tell him anything about this.

First let me find out

how he got in.

And why did he come here?

Sajib

Panna.

Don'tthink about all this.

Go to bed.

Can you take me to him tomorrow?

I can't see one

no matter how much I want to.

I was so happy

that I was going to have twins.

But couldn't keep him alive

even for two minutes.

One has his birthday

on the other's death day.

One was fated to leave so he left.

The other was fated to live.

But people want him dead too.
